I’ve been told so many times while travelling the Philippines that “you should skip Manila.” While the islands of the Philippines are amazing there is so much rich history spread throughout the city. It is definitely worth a stop. Today I explored through the 1500s walled in historic city of Intramuros. It has incredible architecture, 500 year old ruins, beautiful culture and amazing history. It’s layout now has its old buildings surrounded by a modern golf course. It creates great contrast from the sky.
Long story short, don’t skip Manila! 😊

I filmed a video there today and can’t wait to show you. A special thank you to @jedo.ii who helped me film the video 📹

Throw back to the ancient world with this gorgeous architectural wonder of the roman time in Ephesus. We woke up bright and early to get to this ancient city. For a moment we were all alone with no one around, just the rising sun beaming through the ruins, wandering cats and strolling dogs. Although no one lives in Ephesus anymore, the history draws hundreds and thousands of tourists to wader around the columns everyday. So is it abandon? Or is the city still alive, just in a different way? .
